As Cam and I have been getting ready to start our program, One Foundation, people have been asking us, "So is this a reggae show?" Our answer: No and Yes.
No, in the sense that we'll be playing a wide variety of musical styles from around the globe, especially from the Caribbean, Latin America, and the diasporas of those regions throughout the world. Reggae might be the majority of what we play, but you could say we're "hardly strictly reggae."
The Outcome is comprised of
Vocals, Guitar, Keys / Jesse Sizemore
Vocals, Guitar / Quinn Hedges
Bass / Mike Strickland
Drums / Andy Dibben
Jesse’s approachable songwriting style melds seamlessly with Quinn’s more elaborate composition method, which leads The Outcome to churn out challenging yet palatable tunes. Andy and Mike provide the big, grooving backbeats and tasty, melodic bass lines over which effects addicts Jesse and Quinn create the textural atmospherics and searing guitar leads that define the band’s sound. With distinct yet complementary singing styles, Quinn and Jesse share lead vocal duties, adding to the band’s diverse interpretation of modern rock. The Outcome has been featured on 98Rock, Sacramento News & Review, First Festival, Skope Magazine, and more. They release their debut EP entitled I’ll Take It on December 8th at Harlow’s Nightclub in Sacramento, CA.
For those outside the listening area this programmed will be streamed live on www.kdrt.org
Do you like loney? Do you like spare?
Join me as we listen to an album of what were recorded as demos at home by Bruce on a 4 track. It's just acoustic guitar, harmonica, and Bruce singing about the evil in this world. It is the perfect mid-winter album, but I'm doing it early because, well, it's getting dark far too early every day. And at least one person dies in almost every song; eleven in the opening track!
We'll be listening to a reissued vinyl that was released specifically for Record Store Day a couple of years ago that I picked-up at Armadillo. I look forward to you joining me.
